DMR - Designated marksman Rifles or similar guns in other games that sometime go by the names of Scout rifle or just Marksman rifle. Is a weapon classes of rifles that sits between your normal automatic rifles and snipers. While hitting harder per bullet then the assault rifle classes it fires much slower usually semi auto, but some burst and automatics exist with far heaver recoil but dont have the full stopping power of a dedicated bolt action sniper rifle. They have much further bullet drop off damage then the assault rifle class as well as having the perk of usually being able to dip into both classes of attachments. They provide a nice middle ground where DMR's can do close and long range but they cant do it better then the 2 dedicated weapon platforms on either side of it but provide compound utility thus cementing their strength and identity between the 2 other weapon classes.
